!st time down the strip....
 

Took my mustang down the track for the first time,
1st run 14.85 @93.6 2nd run 14.83 @95.7....... not sure how fast I can get it to go as is.

I guess those are decent times for a first timer. But most 5spd 99-04 GT's can run low 14's stock, so keep practicing and you'll be there.

get a 14.2 and come back

Dude those aren't bad time for a beginner! I was told by a guy that has been racing for years that on the first run I would be .5 a second or MORE slower than what my car can run. It's true from what I have seen. Also what were the 60 ft. times? If you can shave a tenth off then its almost worth double on the 1/4 mile time.

my 60' was 2.278 It is bone stock with street tires, I didn't think the time was that bad.
my reaction time was .224

RE: !st time down the strip....
 

With that 60ft you should be mid 14s at like 96 or 97. Where are you?

RE: !st time down the strip....
 

just get tires. contrary to popular MF belief, 60' isnt everything. i figured that out when i broke the tires loose at 55 mhp at one track. i pulled a 2.1 60' tho....

60ft time is everything unless you are spraying at 330ft. If you get a 2.1, 2.0 you will run a 14.1 @ 97-98mph. Get your 60ft time down and you will get that low 14.

Keep practicing. Your car has atleast a 99-101mph trap speed stock. It takes a hell of a driver to get that stock, but it sounds like you are on the way to being one.
